Mechanized Infantry (MI)
Argo's a dune buggy like vehicle that first saw action when Captain Jean Luc Picard took one out for a spin. That particulat vehicle was a prototype. STARFLEET would eventually drop the concept as they are primarily a space agency and saw no use for dune buggy. On the other hand, it was a perfect fit for the STARFLEET Marine Corps as the marines were looking for a new vehicle to lead their light attack Mechanized Infantry.

Over the years since there initial inception in the SFMC, the designs turned out by SFMC R&D have become more complex. Argo's have been modified to function as ambulances, troop carriers, battlefield tow trucks, et al. There's even talk a top secret project to turn an Argo into a hovercraft. But that is just a rumor... or is it.
